Home Treatments for Sebaceous Cysts Treating your sebaceous cyst at home is not as effective as surgery, but it`s less expensive and easier. Here are some tips to reduce the size or completely remove your cyst at home:
Use a heating pad: Apply a heating pad directly on the cyst for 20 to 30 minutes three to four times a day. Do this for up to 10 days and see if the cyst gets smaller. Some cysts contain sebum, which melts under high temperatures, and gets reabsorbed and processed by the body. Take note that this method will not work if your cyst doesn`t contain hardened sebum. Have your doctor examine your cyst to determine its contents.
Clean the cyst daily: Wash the cyst and the surrounding skin with an antibacterial soap every day to prevent infection.
Never squeeze the cyst: Never squeeze, puncture, drain, or scratch a lump because this can cause infection or severe bleeding. This may also push the infection deeper into the skin if the lump is already infected.
Bandage an infected cyst: Draining pus from an infected cyst can cause infection in surrounding areas. To avoid further complications, apply a bandage on the infected cyst, and change the bandage daily. Consult your doctor immediately if the cyst becomes more swollen and painful.
Avoid using oily skin care products: Oily skin care products may cause complications to your sebaceous cyst, since they may further clog your pores with sebum and dead skin cells. As much as possible, avoid these products, and choose ones that are oil-free.
Avoid too much sun exposure: “Milia” are miniature sebaceous cysts composed of deep-seated whiteheads that don`t come to the surface of your skin. They are common in older women and in men with too much sun damage on their temples and cheeks. Avoid excessive sun exposure to prevent the formation of milia on your skin.
It`s best to leave your sebaceous cyst alone if it doesn`t hurt and it`s not too visible. Sebaceous cysts that become cancerous tumors are rare, but they do occur in some cases. If you want to get rid of your sebaceous cyst for cosmetic reasons, follow the instructions of your doctor to prevent infection after the procedure. Experts have not yet determined how to prevent sebaceous cysts from forming, but maintaining personal hygiene might help reduce your risk of developing sebaceous cysts and other skin diseases. If you learned a lot from this article, you`ll surely learn on how to get rid of cysts too.

Why Do Cysts Smell?
This question is best answered only when one have adequate knowledge about cysts. In this article, we are going to talk about cysts in the medical point of view. Now let us first define what a cyst is.
Cysts are bag-like structures that may form in almost anywhere in our body. It is an unusual sac of fluid, like a blister – that may envelope liquid, gaseous, or solid matters. It may contain only water, but if infected, like a sebaceous cyst, it could be filled with pus. From traumatized skin to hair follicles ‚ that`s the cause of sebaceous cyst.
Pus is the result of fluid remains of liquefactive necrosis of tissues. It is usually pale yellow to yellow green and sometimes whitish. Bacterial infections are the most often cause of pus-filled cysts like acne. Because pus is formed through the accumulation of dead tissues, it causes the discharge to smell unpleasant.
Some people decide to pop these superficial cysts to drain the pus, but more often than not, they find themselves doing the wrong thing. Pricking it causes a break in the skin, which is the first-line barrier of the body against microorganisms, leading into further epidermal complications. Other cysts, like the ones that form inside the body, i.e. liver, ovaries, joints are removed or drained aseptically and surgically which are usually minor and outpatient procedures.
Doctors and other professionals repeatedly remind patients to refrain from manipulating the annoying zits and cyst on their skin. According to them, the pus will naturally be reabsorbed by the body during its natural process and the cyst will dry out eventually, but in cases wherein the daily activities of the patient is altered, for example, a cyst on the back or behind the knee, they will always have the option to have it operated on.
A doctor-prescribed anti-inflammatory and antibiotic topical ointment will be prescribed afterwards to prevent another infection. Some people have the tendency to be more prone to growing these bumps. Others may grow two or more at the same time. The key here is always to keep your body well scrubbed and cleaned.

If blood is coming out of the cyst that is a good sign, because it means with that blood infection is coming out therefore taking away or at least reducing the risks that go along with a cyst. If the bleeding does continue for a lperiod of time and does not lighten up or stop then you may need to re call your vet. Although it is important to keep the wound area clean and not to keep it covered to much as the bacteria if constantly covered will create another infection. But remember after helping your dog with his cycst each time to wash your hands throughouly to reduce any infectious risks for yourself.

Yes. They help the infection that could happen immediately aftering noticing the cyst. You want to get rid of the infection first. If they cycst doesn`t go completely back down after the antibiotic, see your Dr. again and you may need a second round of antibiotics I`m guessing or the cyst may need to be lanced or removed.
